'Meat' 'n Greet

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a green-skinned alien and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]

Eventually, Spike recognized the smell of vampire and turned around, making eye contact with the clearly younger vampire. He tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, wordlessly asking what the hell he thought he was staring at.

He didn't look like much more of a threat than Harmony, but that didn't mean Spike would hesitate to stake him if he threatened the people around here.

Crap, busted. It was either run away like a loser or finally speak up. He felt enough like a loser, he didn't want to make it worse. "Uh. Hi," he said sheepishly. "Looks like we have something in common." If there was one thing he thought he was good at, it was faking confidence.
bigbad: injuries ([Impudent] Yeah right)

Spike snorted. "I seriously doubt that."

Remember your etiquette, Sam. Saying that implied they were even on the same level, which obviously wasn't the truth. "Uh. Well. Categorically speaking. Obviously you're on a much higher level than myself. But I'm glad to see I'm not the only one of our kind here." Nice backpedal. He tried a friendly, harmless smile. "My name is Sam Henderson. I'm a doctor in Chicago, under the Ruthwen clan." He held out a hand, perhaps for an equally friendly and harmless shake.

Damn right he was a higher level, but that, of course, wasn't what Spike meant. He shook the other vampire's hand gingerly, still watching him suspiciously. "Spike, sod-all clan, I kill monsters. And yeah, that includes other vampires.%Pr

He raised his hands up in front of him. He knew approaching him was a bad idea. He should have just pretended he hadn't seen him. "I'm not out to hurt anyone. Quite the opposite, actually." He removed the tag from his coat and held it out to Spike to look at. It showed him as a surgeon in the ER of Loyola Medical Center.

Spike took the tag and frowned at Sam. "Sounds like a sweet little set-up you've got, then? People die in hospitals all the time. And even if they don't, no one's gonna notice if a little blood's missing."

He shook his head. "I would never do that, actually. It's disrespectful. It's more like working in a kitchen when you haven't eaten all day." It was an... unfortunate metaphor, but functional. "My brother likes to crack jokes about that sometimes."

Spike rolled his eyes and shoved the tag back at him. "That'd work so much better if I'd ever worked in a kitchen. Haven't met many vampires worried about respecting humans."

He took it and replaced it on his lapel. "I have to be if I'm going to convince anyone we're not just bloodthirsty monsters. I'm the first any major hospital has knowingly hired. Most people, if they come in conscious, aren't too happy about it." He just hoped he didn't make this guy mad. He was probably more used to the life in the shadows vampires used to lead, until recently.
bigbad: injuries ([Impudent] You're kidding)

"We are just bloodthirsty monsters, git. What sort of vampire are you? Working in a hospital." Spike shook his head. Sure, he wasn't bloodthirsty anymore, but he was the exception rather than the rule.
